How do I use a luffa?
As you would a sponge, wet it apply soap and rub over your body.
Does it exfoliate?
Yes it’s a great way to exfoliate the skin by rubbing in circular motions all over the body. It helps to get rid of dead skin cells, improve circulation and give you smoother skin.
How often should I use it?
If you are really scrubbing we would recommend 1-2 a week, you don’t want to exfoliate every day, but applying a gentle lather of soap without too much pressure you can use it everyday.
Can I use it on my face?
You can, but it does depend on how sensitive your skin is, it may be too harsh.
How do I clean it?
Rinse throughly after every use. Luffas must be put in a place where they can throughly dry out after use, you can pop it in the wash with your towels every week to give it a good clean.
Does it harbour bacteria?
If you leave it in a puddle of water and don’t clean it properly yes. As most things would! Being a plant luffas are naturally antibacterial so they are a better option then the plastic versions, just make sure you dry it in between uses and wash it every so often.
